I think that he is correct to say that extremists should not have their say in the way that other people run their lives. With that said, I am an American, my family has been here since the beginning, and we have shed our blood when asked, even when it was not for our own liberty or protection. I am not religious (not a Christian or any other faith) and I am always bothered when anyone invokes a religion on me. Muslim or Christian, why cant people have the freedom to worship how they see fit, and give me the freedom not to. He said, "If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture." I disagree, I am very much a productive part of our culture, and I am offended when I feel forced to worship, so where am I to go? Maybe one day we can create a perfect nation that has a separation of the church with the state. Wait a minute, I thought we already did. It sounds like we may have our own extremist problem here. Once again, I will never tell anyone how to or not to worship, so long as they are not violating anyone else's rights, I just hope Christians soon adopt the same standard.

As a side note, the Christian bible has several parts where it says that a Christian nation is not possible nor advisable. If you want me to (it may take me a week as I just listened to a good lecture about this but did not take notes), I can find the biblical references for you. The idea is to strive to praise your lord, but not to force someone else to do it when it is not true in their heart. There is a power to faith when it is chosen through free will instead of as a result of a threat of discrimination.
